Meet Our Teachers & Staff

We love our students!
​Our classes have a low student to teacher ratio. This ensures that each child receives
the individual care and attention which we are happy to share!

​Kindergarten Teacher​
Hello. My name is Trixy Falke and I've been the Director and Teacher since 2018 at ELP.  I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Integrated Studies with an emphasis in early childhood and special education. My favorite thing about Emmanuel Lutheran is that we get to teach about Jesus.  I enjoy spending time with my family hiking, skiing, camping and boating.
